Pros

Absentee manager means no micromanagement

Cons

Lazy manager so no mentoring or coaching. I don't even know where they are half the time. Metrics are unattainable. for example in order to make my quarterly quota I have to work cases that are supposed to be worked by higher level agents. Their processes are all over the place. Pay starts super low and really is not even a livable wage at 40k...they promise raises every 3 months in the interview but they don't mention it's bases on numbers that are not attainable You have to solve 30+ emails a day but their will be maybe 20 available for a staff of over 100 to grab. so how can you solve emails when there aren't any. A lot of ppl from my training class have left and I'm looking. The benefits aren't that great. Free healthcare is okay but most companies offer that. What about a mentor program. tuition reimbursement? Also their are no higher up manager that are POC so that says quite a bit right there

Pros

Free food Cool people in sales org Middle Management is cool

Cons

The amount of turnover is genuinely astonishing Some teams are hitting less than 50% of quota AI has gotten out of hand.... It's almost comical Laid off 25+ people, partially because of "AI" I can genially say upwards of 10 of the most senior sellers have ALL left in the past 12 months "Upper" sales management is lost - focusing on AI above the actual processes and operations that can grow revenue No 401(k) 2 of 65+ GPRO reps in '2025 went to Presidents Club NO VALUE IN SALES TRAINING Rev-Opp's calls all the shots for partner sales - and they have not made any decisions that have driven an increase in revenue. Upper management and Rev Opp's stopped a majority of lead sources for Account Executives, expanded quotas, fired middle management, and fired the entire team. I would avoid working at Gusto at all costs.
